I gotta apologize for the delay on getting the word out on this month’s Boombox. It’s going to be an absolute must see, event! First off, let me give BIG thanks to Inka One, Ben Diggin, and One Man Jazz for making Boombox a staple in L.A. Second, the folks at Boombox know how to bring in the heavy hitters.  The line-up is sick… Exile, Oddisee, Samiyam, &  J. Bizness. You think you’ve got better plans, yeah right. Trust me, you’ll want to go to this one.  So, unless you’re going to Timeless, Boombox is going to be the spot. See you all there.

event, update / Comments Off

April 3rd BOOMBOX is going to be on and popping with special guest DJ Battlecat. I don’t usually do this, but check out DJ Battlecat at Discogs. His career is more than impressive…it’s off the charts. DJ Battlecat will be blessing BOOMBOX with a DJ set that should be crazy. DJ Expo & DJ A1 will be holding it down in the beat lounge. The night will be hosted by a special guest that’s known for the condiments (Ketchup and coming soon Mustard) TiRon. And always to keep the party moving, your resident DJs Inka One, Ben Diggin, and One Man Jazz. No need to bring your boombox to this party. Just your party shoes.

Inka One – Zojirushi Mix (Soundwaves)

Posted by aaron on March 23, 2010
podcast, update / Comments Off

First off, I have no idea about the water bottle, and second Inka One is crazy with this Zojirushi Mix. I mean check out the tracklist. He goes from Black Milk, Little Dragon, to J. Rocc & Dam Funk. That’s not all, he’s got some local celebrities on this like DevonWho, Aspect 1, & J. Bizness. Inka One drops lots of exclusive and unreleased tracks, so this is a mix worth downloading. I would not be surprised if he knows each people/group personal. Head out to Boombox every 1st Saturday at Grand Star, and also check Soundwaves with Abraham & Ms. Cecilia every Saturaday night/early Sunday morning (midnight – 2) on KPFK (90.7fm) BIG thanks Inka One for the heads up.
